I've only tried Riv with pulse audio or plain ALSA. As such killing off
pulse audio is usually what I end up doing and after that I have no issues.
I've never had to mess with /etc/asound or .asoundrc.
I've got this working on a pi with raspbian and lxde (not recommended),
Debian 6/7 on a normal PC and Ubuntu as far back as 10.04 with pretty
much every version in between. I suppose asound may be required on
other distros.

Anyone, correct me if I am wrong, but the recommended setup is to have
the RD PCM streams in /etc/asound.conf in order to "assign" the card
to Rivendell, and configure your own .asoundrc so that it either
provides "null" output as default to your apps or route it to an
additional sound card.
If you set Rivendell in your .asoundrc, your desktop manager (KDE,
Gnome, etc.) will likely still pick up the default sound card and then
"hog" it.

have a .asoundrc but still no sound

Can you run speaker-test in a terminal?
That's a new one on me, but it is in Slackware 14 and does work.
Since it's new to me, I don't know if he has that in Slack 12.
You might have to install alsa-utils first
I'm certain at least part ( probably all ) of that is in Slack 12.

Basically, you run alsamixer and set up the sound card settings.
( personally, I prefer rexima but to each his own )
Then you run alsactl store to write them into /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
so that the daemon restores them on reboot.
My backup from Slackware 12 is only partial, since I moved to Slack 14
some time ago, but there is no asound.conf
A little ( very little ) research suggests Slackware ( any version ) does not
have or use an asound.conf, since it's not required to use alsa at all,
except to modify the default/master/stored asound settings on a
per-need basis, such as when starting bluetooth. ( if you use bluetooth )
There is an asound.state
and /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa does reference the existence of /etc/asound.state
which is a symlink to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
That file is created by the command
alsactl store
and will then contain the current state of the alsa sound settings.
File formatting suggests that asound.state is what everyone else calls
asound.conf. Since it's a variable, Slackware keeps it in /var/lib/alsa/
( var's should go in /var wouldn't you think ? )

Kill the KDE artsd sound controller, and you should be good to go.
